New Pro-Choice Legislator Profile: Lashrecse Aird, House of Delegates 63

We are so excited to welcome Lashrecse Aird to the Virginia House of Delegates! As newly-elected Delegate of the 63rd district, Lashrecse will represent Petersburg City and parts of neighboring counties.

Delegate-elect Aird has a long history of community service. She currently serves as Assistant to the President and Board Liaison at Richard Bland College of William & Mary, and also serves on the boards of several state democratic committees, the Virginia State University Alumni Association, and as an appointee to the Governor’s Council on Women. In addition, Aird is well-versed in the legislative process and familiar with constituent challenges and priorities, since she worked previously as Chief of Staff to Senator Rosalyn Dance — former 63rd district Delegate.

On women’s health, Lashrecse Aird has made it clear that she will fight to keep government out of Virginia women’s personal, private medical decisions. She is a fierce advocate for reproductive rights and freedom, which is why NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia was so proud to endorse her and encourage our members to support her candidacy.

We are thrilled to welcome 100% pro-choice Delegate Lashrecse Aird to the House, and we look forward to working with her!
